[G] [A]
[Em] You girls are so good at creating space for each other and then filling in the gaps.
[F] How pleasing has it been for you as a group to hone in on your desired sounds and have
a trust that's expressed musically?
[N]
It's been very pleasing.
It's been the most pleasing.
It just [F#] feels [C] like such a natural development.
[N] Becoming comfortable with our instruments while at the same time becoming comfortable
with each other lends [C#] itself towards [E] that space happening, inevitably.
The last record [N] was half party songs and half consisting of your move to Seattle.
This record is longer and you mentioned it's jamier.
I mean, [C#] you just play what feels good and so organic.
Is that very much your ethos?
To enable you guys to have such a cohesive sound?
[F#] I think so.
We usually just end up playing what feels [G] good and it just comes [N] together.
I think part of it [Em] comes from this is all of our first band and I didn't start playing
the drums until this [C#] band and Annie just started playing bass even though she had experience
with the violin.
But since we were learning our instruments [E] we really had to listen to each other a lot
and we can't go to the like
It's not like we had these developed parts and we [F#] wanted to stick them in places.
It's like we were listening to each other and figuring [C#] out what we could do with each
other's parts that sounded good.
You've also mentioned it's easier to write joke songs as opposed to sentimental songs.
[F#] How does that come into play for you?
I think now we're all just [A] more confident as musicians.
When we were starting it was easier to just write joke songs because [C]
if we fucked them
up it wasn't a big deal.
[A] It was a joke anyway.
[F#m] It doesn't matter.
It was [A#] less [C] pressure I guess.
But yeah, [A] now I think we're all more confident in our [E] musical abilities [N] to actually write
more serious songs.
I wanted to get your views.
When you're sequencing the record, is Drone the natural choice as the opener when you
have this collection of songs?
I think it is.
We've been opening a lot of the gigs on this tour with Drone.
I think even on a lot of previous tours we would open with Drone.
It's always the opener for a song.
It's not like the right first song.
Does it seem like a natural one to put first on the record?
For me it feels like a really grounded song.
[C#]
It rises in energy.
[Em]
It's fun to play.
It's easy to play.
Another tough song that's been definitely [N] praised is the album Closer, Time to Go Home.
From a compositional sense, what resonated with you about this song the most?
When you were forming it, was there a certain type of energy you were looking to bring to
the process or was it just organic?
It just happened.
We were working on that song for a really long time and it just wasn't sounding right.
You would ignore it for a while and then come back to it.
[Em] We wanted it to have [E] [G] a slow verse and then [E] get faster but that wasn't sounding very natural.
Couldn't nail it down.
With another fantastic song [G] like Joke, what does a song like Joke signify to you [E] each personally?
What resonates with you about this track in particular?
[D] I think for me that comes back to the listening to each other a lot and creating [G] space for each other.
There are a lot of intricate [N] parts in there but I don't think they're ever [G] overpowering or anything.
It's all just like everything goes together.
I understand you as a band received an email from somebody asking if you would be willing to hold the keys to his chassis of the bus.
I forgot about that.
[A] The subject of that email was [C] an interesting idea.
Like, da, da, da.
[G#] I don't think I heard it.
[C]
But that idea was pretty [E] interesting.
Let's talk about the Seattle Seahawks being based in Seattle, I mean the former world champs.
Which [N] Seattle Seahawks player do you feel best represents the Chastity belt ethos?
Richard Truman is pretty cool.
Richard Truman, yeah.
[G#] But I also like [A#] Marshawn Lynch. Marshawn Lynch?
I thought he was a [F#] [Gm] f**k.
Yeah, definitely.
Definitely [C] Marshawn Lynch.
Whenever [G#] [E] he goes into interviews it's just like, he plays because he loves [C] it.
Yeah, all for that.
[Gm] Just like us.
If he doesn't feel like practicing, [C#] he just does a show.
Which is the hot one?
Oh, the quarterback.
Yeah, that's the one I identify with.
Russell Wilson.
Yeah, Russell Wilson.
With your favorite songs being the type of songs that you very much feel like you know the person behind them, is that what you're hoping to achieve with Chastity belt material?
I think it happens because [E] that's the kind of people who are not super performative.
True to ourselves.
Yeah, for me.
We're not putting on a different show.
[A] We don't really have stage personas.
Tell us about your recent UK tour.
I understand you've been tweeting about your appreciation [N] for some of the crowds that are very vocal and getting involved.
What's it been like for you as a band to come overseas and tour the UK?
It's been great.
Truly amazing.
[C#] I feel like we're more famous here than [E] we are in Sweden.
[A] That's what it feels like.
That's definitely what it feels like.
What's [G] been the most pleasing part of your musical endeavors throughout this year?
What would you say really stands out?
It feels really good to play music in front of a crowd that knows [N] the lyrics and sings back.
That has been such an incredible feeling.
Yeah, for me too.
[E] It feels great.
We've gotten recognition from some artists that we look [G] up to.
Yeah, that [E] feels good.
Going on tour with Courtney Barnett was really [N] amazing.
As you head forward, as Chastity heads forward, what are the key elements that you hope to maintain and stay true to?
Ourselves.
I just want to be true to myself.
And to my friends.
Keep having fun.
Keep listening to each other.
Creating space for each other.
